Botanica Obscura Folio Sale—Happy New Years!
Lao New Years, that is. The Lao celebrate their New Years or Pbeemai (pronounced
pi-maibi-mai) on April 13th, 14th, and 15th. The 13th is the last day of the old year; the 15th the first day of the new. What is interesting to me is the 14th: Sangkhan Nao or day of no day. April 14th isn’t part of either year, it’s a day of rest and fun. One of the activities is the throwing of water on friends and passersby—something of a purification ritual.Since this is going to be a bit of a party, I thought I’d put my Botanica Obscura folio on sale for 50% off. That’s right, for the rest of April, the print folios will be priced at $45 instead of their normal $90.

Folio Sale: Last Chance
Folio Sale:
The introductory sale on my Botanica Obscura folio is almost over—January 1st, the price goes up to $90. Take a look at the folio in detail in my store here or in my Facebook store here. This has been one of my favorite projects so far—I love how the photographs turned out, and the making of the folio itself was a blast. Take a look! And, if you don’t want to purchase the print version, there is a free downloadable .pdf available also—please only use Adobe Reader to view the pdf. Here is the file in my store and here in my Facebook store. Thanks for looking!

Folio Sale And Vimeo Videos (Finally!)
~ Click To Enlarge ~ Time for a folio sale. I’m sitting here in the SeaTac airport waiting for my 1AM flight to Bangkok. So, I thought I’d send out a reminder of the sale on my Botanica Obscura folio. $15 off until January, 1st.
After a four day delay thanks to one of Vimeo’s processing bugs, my product description videos are up. Take a look at the folio video here. And take a look at the print video here.
Back to hanging out in the airport…

Online Store Product Videos
~ Click To Enlarge ~ Launching the store has been exciting (and a lot of work!). And I realized that there is nothing like some video to make clearer what exactly is offered in the store. So, here we go, online store product videos! First is a down and dirty video about the free PDF Folio and the Print Folio (the Print Folio has an introductory sale price until January 1st, 2013). You will probably want to click on the gear icon in the lower right corner of the YouTube window and select one of the HD versions:

Next is a the video showing the Plywerk-mounted images and explaining the unmounted versions. You can get any of the nine Botanica Obscura images mounted either way:

Thanks again for looking. Please share these links around, and if you recommend this on Facebook, I’ll buy you a beer the next time I see you! (I’ve only been taken up on this once so far… c’mon, free beer!!)

Online Store Open!
~ Click To Enlarge ~ I’m happy to announce that my online store is open! Please take a look around. I have four items in different configurations available. These are all items related to the Botanica Obscura series of images.
The first is a free (freeeeeee!) sixteen page interactive PDF. Download it, download it now! Here’s the catch: you must use Adobe Reader for the interactivity to function. Sorry, technical limitation.
Here’s a nice little handy link to the PDF. And here is the first page:
~ Click To Enlarge ~ Next up is the Botanica Obscura Print Folio. This I’m super excited about—I had a lot of fun making these, and I’m quite proud of them. The folio is made up of the following:
- Embossed Fine Art Paper Cover
- 4 Page Signed And Numbered Text Signature
- Image Index
- 9 prints of the Botanica Obscura Series
And, until the 1st of January, 2013, the folio is on sale for $75—$15 off the regular price of $90! Sale! Give some art this holiday! Here is a link to the folio, with more images and a longer description. Oh, what the heck, here are a couple of images of said folio:

~ Click To Enlarge ~ Next up… prints! I love prints. Something about holding a piece of art in your hands that just can’t be replicated in the online world. There is texture, there is heft, there is no need for batteries, cords, cables-bells-whistles, hurrah! Can you tell I like prints? I like to make them, I like to give them away, I like to sell them, and I like to pull them out and look at them. Ok, ok, enough.
I’m offering the Botanica Obscura prints in two signed and numbered versions:
- Mounted on Plywerk’s Sustainably Harvested Bamboo Panels
- Unmounted, so you can frame yourself for your home’s or office’s decor
Here’s an all swanky image withMichael Jacksoncotton gloves. Yes, a pair of the gloves are included. Why? Well, when you unpack the print, you can remove it from the packing and hold it without getting fingerprints on it (even though all prints are coated with four coats of UV protectant spray that happens to help with fingerprints). And, you can always hang your new print and dance around to Beat It. Or not. Here’s a link to the Plywerk prints in the store. Here’s a link to the unmounted prints.
~ Click To Enlarge ~ And another dark and moody installation pic (sorry for the shadows, I was shooting in customer’s house, after all):
~ Click To Enlarge ~ I’m very happy to be able to offer this work for sale. The work has been in a well-received exhibit earlier this fall, video here, and is still hanging at the North Puget Cancer Center to help raise funds for a permanent art collection for the Center. Read more here and here (you can get prints for less if you purchase them through the hospital—but only until December 1st!). I’ll have a short video up soon showing me hanging art on the not-so-interesting walls of the hallway to the Cancer Center. Hey, that’s what the project is all about… making the center a little more pleasant for the people that don’t want to be there.
I’ll also have a couple of videos up showing the folios and prints—it is a little easier to get a sense of what they truly look like in a video. YouTube and Vimeo willing, they should be up later today (those links are my channels on the respective video hosts).
Thanks for looking. Feel free to spread this around on all your favorite social media sites. Or just sit there and enjoy it all to yourself!Â
